Anyone can go birdwatching, even without all the equipment and technical knowledge. A SPEA membership enables you to join our birdwatching activities for free or at a reduced cost.

Birds have always fascinated humanity. Their extraordinary flight ability and the beauty of their songs and plumage generate ever lasting admiration. Birdwatching is on the rise all over the world. Birds are good indicators of environmental quality. Their study and monitoring are a relatively simple way of obtaining information about the environment we live in. Apart from these technical aspects, birdwatching is also a pleasurable hobby that promotes a healthy contact with nature.
